p ract j ca j Demonetization.
Speaking of the Senators who oppose the
repeal of the Sherman act, the New York
Sun observes.
They contend that if bare repeal is en
acted the consequence will be the practi
cal demonetization of silver and in thus
contending they may be right.
This is, indeed what many ol these Sen
ators contend; but this expression is mis
leading, especially when used by a paper
usually so exact in it language as the Sun
How can the practical demonetization of
silver be the consequence of any present
or future action, when silver already is
practically demonetized T
The Sherman act does not practically
monetize silver. It provides for the pur
chase of silver bullion, payment being
made in Treasury notes. These notes are
redeemable in'"coin,', and their present
value depends on the belief that this coin
will be gold. Practically, gold is the only
actual money. Silver, notes and all other
forms of currency are representatives oi
money, of stable value as long as they are
believed to be convertible in gold.
This is not a theory, it is a condition
which the bare repeal of the Sherman act
would not change. It wonld renew con
fidence in the convertibility of all our va
rious forms or currency, silver as well as
paper, and thus would promote the use of
silver in the ordinary transactions of busi
ness, but it would neither monetise nor de
monetize silver without some further action
by Congress. To enforce such action is the
•vowed purpose of the opponents of repeal.

t
The Mechanic's Lien Act Unconstitu
tional.
Property owners, builders, contractors
and mechanics are all interested in the de
cision of Judge Hemphill, of Chester coun
ty, which declares that the Mechanic s
Lien law of June 8, 1891, is not legislation
but usurpation, trespasses upon the inher
ent and indefeasible rights of property, vi
olates the fundamental principles of both
contracts and agency, eliminating from
the one mutuality of assent and from the
other the authorization of the principal.
and ie therefore unconstitutional and void.
The act of 1891 declares, first, that no
contract shall prevent the filing of a me
chanic's lien for work done or materials
furnished nnlessj the sub-con trader shall
oonsent to the contract in writing.and that
without such written contract all con
tracts which declare that no lien shall be
filed shall be invalid as against the right
of the snb contractor to file the same.
Secondly, the act declares that all persons
contracting with the owner shall be con
sidered the agents of the owner in order
ing work and materials for tho erection of
a building. Under this act David McMas
ters, a sub contractor, filed a lien against
the West Chester Normal School. The
school as a corporation had dealt directly
with Davis Pennock, who contracted to
erect the building. With him a written
agreement had been mado. in which Pen
nock, for himself and his sub-contractors,
waived the right to file any lien or claim
against the property or owner, and agreed
to file no such lien. McMasters, who was
Pennock's sub-contractor, did not unite in
the agreement. McMasters attempted to
recover, claiming that Pennock was the
agent of the school corporation and that
he lied not, by written contract, parted
with his right to file a lien in accordance
with tho terms of the act of 1801.
Judge Hemphill summarizes the decis
ions of the United States and State courts
under the law of contracts. The firfft
point to be ascertained was whether the
act of 1801 affected the original contract or
remedy provided. The jndge points ont
that the act gives no new remedy, for the
contractor had the right of lien heforo its
passage, and that it affects solely the con
tract taking effect and becoming opera
tive at the inception of the contract, while
the remedy provided by law for the en
forcement of the contract becomes opera-
tivu only when the contract bat been bro
ken, Continuing the judge holdii that the
Miction of the act which makes the origi
nal contractor the agent of the owner cre
ates an involuntary agency, not when the
contract in broken, but when made. AH
in th* cue decided the contract wait made
subsequent to the law, and the latter
would therefore become part of the former,
Judge Hemphill is of opinion the act of
1891 does not impair the obligation of con
tracts, but decides it to bo unconstitutional
on other grounds. These grounds are that
the act attempt** to interfere with the own
er's right of contract and create* without
his consent an agency between him and
the sab-contractor. He therefore holds
that tbo Legislature attempt to do great
injustice to the owner and exercise a pow
er never conferred upon it, but, on the
other hand, expressly reserved to the indi
vidual citizen by the declaration of rights
ot the State Constitution.
Practically the act would put the owner
at the the mercy of the iirst sub-contrac
tor, since there might easily be sub-con
tractors ef whom tbo owners could have no
knowledge. A contractor could not con
tract for the erection ot a building in satis
faction of a debt without running the risk
of being worse off than he was before,since
the debtor could by concealing the sub
contract, appear to satifl'y tho debt and
subsequently liens could be filed which
would absorb tho value of tho buildiDg.
The objections to the act stated by
Judge Hemphill are so serious that they
will at once be apparent to every reador of
the decision. The wonder might exist
that these objections were not seen when
the Legislature and press wore discussing
the si 1 ' ject Jt the time the acl was passed,
were i 1 not lor the fact that Legislatures
are < •.i intly engaged in tho uttempt to
mat •• inconstltntional law* at the instiga
tion of a class which <'•.(:< not see very
clearly the rights of other classes.—Phila

Railroad Accident Insurance.
liailroad paaseLgers have for twnnty six
rr-ara been familiar with the practice ot
insuring themselves against accident odt
it will be a surprise to more rai l " > * rav "
elers to learn that railroad companies in
sure themselves the pecuniary
damages to which a railroad accident
makes a corporati on liable.
The loss of life and the injury to limb is
to the public the first consideration in a
railroad accident. To the railroad managers
an early, if not the first, consideration io
the damages in which the company will be
cast for an accident. A year ago. Septem
ber 9, 1893, a through freight train on the
Fitchburg line in Massachusetts crashed
through a passenger train standing on a
siding at West Cambridge, telescoping the
tw ear. Ten were killed twenty-sight
injured. The report of the company just
issued credits this accident with $154,180.
Most railroad men will feel, remember
ing the gross carelessness which led to the
accident, that the company escaped cheap
ly. Nearly nineteen persons have been
killed in railroad accidents in the past two
months, and these accidents probably rep
resent amoney loss in damages of upward of
$1,250,000, with at least $500,000 forsma.»h
ed rolling stock. Several insurance com
panies make a business of insurance against
these lossers, though the premiums not un
naturally, do not figure conspicuously in
railroad accounts.
The Long Island Railroad Company
was carrying $75,000 at the time of the
Parkville accident, August 5. This .showed
such carelessness that it is reported the
insurance company refused to continue the
policy and its caution was abundantly jus
tified by a still heavier accident on August
26. The Boston <t Albany was carryiLg
a $50,000 policy at the time of the Chester
bridge accident, which it at once collected
though the sum cannot be a third large
enough to meet the damages due to that
gross piece of carelessness.
The net safety of railroad travel is in all
probably neither increased nor diminished
by this practice. The direct damage done
by a serious ralroad accident is so great
that insurance against its direct damages
does little more than save the trouble of
finding means for a largo payment out of
a single year's earnings. No railroad man
will be more or less careless because his
company carries accident insurance
The real need in railroad accidents is not
the prohibitions of insurance against dam
ages by the companies, but careful inves
tigation. This does not exist in this State
or in New Jersey. If a railroad accident
happens in Massachusetts or Connecticut,
it is adequately investigated. This is also
true in lowa. A fair inquiry .is made in
New York and Illinois. Alabama is anoth
er State with a Commission whose inves
tigations are reasonably efficient. In moot
States, there is no adequate examination;
First come the newspaper reports, then a
loose Coroner's inquest, then some scat
tering reports and the public never has a
judicial finding, properly apportioning
the blainu.
Nothing wonld do more to improve rail
road management than careful inquiry
into each railroad accident. Its efTect in
England has been marvelous. If the In
terstate Commerce Commission wero giyen
the power to make such investigations,
the effect would be at once seen in a steady
decrease of accidents, just as it ha« been
in Great Britian.—Philadelphia l'rins.
SATURDAY, September 16, was Railroad
day at the World's Fair and an interesting
programme was prepared to entertain the
pnblio, but nothing seemed of so much
consequence to the public as the "tug of
war" between a steaai locomotive and an
electric locomotive. The steam locomotive
was No. 10, that has been in service on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for some
fifteen years. It has 16x25 cylinders, uses
steam at 140 pounds preßure, and weighs
on the drive about 35 tons, while the
tender gives an additional weight of about
eight tons. The electric locomotive is one
recently built by tho General Electric
Company and has thirty tons on the
wheels. Its motor capacity is 250 horse
power. This locomotive was designed to
operate on an overhead trolly, but as none
was at hand, temporary cable* connected
the motors to the Exposition 500 volt
circuit. The steam locomotive easily
drew the electric locomotive all over the
track.
Women at the Polls.
Connecticut women have commenced to
vote. At Monday's election they had the
privilege of voting for school officers in all
towns of the State, and the privilege
was availed of to a great extent.
In llartford 701 feminine votes were de
posited, out of a total of about 800 who
registered. In ltockville 350 women vot
ed, and nearly all supported the Republican
ticket. In some instances they elected
their own representatives on school boards,
but as a rule manifested quite as much in
dependence in voting as their husbands in
do. They went at tho solving of the
mysteries of the seceret ballot in a master
ly manner, as might be expected from
women who were attacking a secret of any
sort, and, as one nngallant Connecticutter
told a reporter, they displayed their
scratching proclivites in a perfectly natural
way. We cannot approve of the methods
employed by some of the sterner sex to
prevent th6ir wives from voting. One
man told his wife that if she went to the
polls and voted she would hereafter bring
up the kindlings, wear the trousers and
curry the horse. She was probably intend
ing to vote against her husbanj's candi
date, but anyhow, the man was just too
mean for any use.— Chron. Telegraph.

Soldiers' Children.
Tho following is a correct copy of Act
No. 17. passed by the last Pennsylvania
Legislature and approved by the Govern
or April 18, 1803, and shows that I'enu
sylvania has not forgotten tho debt she
owes her soldiers.
Relative to the admission and instruction
of children of soldiers of tho late war of
Rebellion in the common sohools of dis
tricts outside of which their parents, guar
dians or others entitled to their custody
may reside.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted etc., etc., That
any child or children of any person who
was a soldier in the service ol the United
States in tho lata war of tho Rebellion be
ing or who shall temporarily or otherwise
(be) within any school district of the com
monwealth shall upon application bo en
titled to admission and instruction the
same as resident children in the proper
common school of such district ana not
withstanding such child or children may
have or shall come into said district for
the purpose of attendance at such school
and the residence of the parents guardian
or other person or persons entitled by law
to the custody of such child or children be
in another district.

Win" " rt>P Estimates
mj,. ..atisticians are widely at variance
v. their estimates of the wheat crop. The
Cincinnati Price Current thinks that the
yield has not fallen much, if any. below
400,000,000 bushels, "Bradstreet'a" figures
out a crop of at least 440,000,000 bushels;
and several other authorites take excep
tions to the Government data from which
the crop yield is estimated at about 380,
000,000 bushels. After all. however, the
calculations of the Federal Department of
Agriculture are likely to be the most wide
ly credited, and, as the only "official"
estimate, will be generally used for pur
poses of comparison until they shall have
been disproved by later detals of distribu
tion and consumption.
Much stress has been laid upon the fact
that discrepancies between the figure- of
actual consumption, exports and reserves,
in the last two years, have revealed under
estimates of the crops of 1891 and 1892.
This defect, however, was frankly acknow
ledged by the Department when its state
ment of reserves in farmers' hands was
made public last March. At that time it
was apparent that the country had con
sumed, exported and had on hand enough
wheat to indicate that the Government
estimates of G12,000,000 bushels for 1891
and 515,000,000 bushels for 1892 were from
2to 3 per cent, too low. The actual dif
ference between estimated and actual re
salts in the two years was about 31,500,000
bushels. Considering the vast scope of
the Department's inquires, and the prone
ness of producers lo understate their crops
lor the sake of effect on the markets, this
error in calculation was very excusable.
If the totals for the current crop year,
which were indicated by the September re
port, were not more widely nstray than
were those of the two previous ye«rs, the
yield would prove to be not much if any
over 400,000,000 bushels. Assuming this
to be a conservative view of conflicting
estimates of the wheat yield, the account
of the country's wheat supply for the pres
ent crop year would stand as follows:
Bushels
Visible and invisible, July 1 100,000,000
Crop yield, 1893 <00,000,000
Total supply 500,000,000
Required for bread and 5eed...305,000,000
Surplus and reserve lor 1804.. K55,000,000
Export* for eleven weeks since July 1
have been at the rate of 5,000,000 bushels
per week; and it would appear from these
data that, if the country should retain at
the beginning of the next crop year a
mimium reserve of 25,000,000 bushel :, it
would not take more than three months, at
the present rate of exportation, to absorb
tho entire available export surplus ot the
current crop. The figures look smul ',
after two years' experience of enormous
production and unprecedented exports; but
they are warranted by the only approxi
mately reliable data available. That they
arc not generally credited, or, if believen,
are not given due weight by grain traders,
is evidenced by the fact that prices are but
a lew cents per bunhel above the lowest
on record. —Philadelphia Record.
THE strength of the tariff before the
public lies in its advantage to the whole
community by stimulating industries and
encouraging a brisk home market. This
argument has been in good faith as the
corner-stone on which the entire edifice of
protective logic must rest. The idea that
the tariff is levied for tho benefit of the
manufacturers alone would be fatal; but
that is the narrow, mean and selfish posi
tion that Cameron, Baker, <& Co. have tak
en in offering to trade Pennsylvania votes
in favor of silver for Western votes in
favor of the protective sy»tein.
These mischief makers reduce to a sordid
and log-rolling basis the great protective
policy whose principles and application to
the public good have aroused tho enthusi
asm of our greatest and most clear-headed
statesmen from Hamilton to Blaine. — JJi*

Saw Livsey at the Fair,
State Insurance Commissioner Lnper,
relates the following incident:
"On September 8, the next day after
Pennsylvania Day at the Fair, I had an
appointment to meet friends at the Penn
sylvania building. I sat with a friend of
mine upon a pile of timber waiting, when
my attention and my friend's was attracted
to a man who stood a few yards away look
ing intentl}' at the Liberty Bell.
"Isn't that Bill Livsey V asked my
friend turning quickly to me and pointing
out tho most prominent inspector of the
bell.
"It cortainly looks like him,' I replied.
'lf it isn't he, I'm mightily deceived. Of
course, he only wore a sandy or reddish
mustache on his face when he went away;
but now he's got that big full beard. But
it's Livsey.'
"Then I went up nearer and stood close
behind the man near tho Liberty Bell.
Suddonly he turned clear around with a
start and looked me full in the face. He
saw it was I, and that I knew him, and
he put out his hand, as friendly as you
please, and said:
"Hello, George! How are you F
Hello, Bill!, said I; didn't quite expect
to see you hero ! Were you here yester
day—on Pennsylvania Day V
" 'Not by a d n sight!' exclaimed
Livsey with a Bbrug.
"Well, he talked rather freely, and said
that he was 'only made a scapegoat' when
ho cleared out so suddenly just after the
Governor had called tbo special session of
the Senate to investigate the offices ol
State Treasurer iioyer and Auditor Genera l
MeOamant, os a result of a lot of compro
mising letters received by them about in
closures, etc., from John Bradsley, Phila
delphia's defaulting and convicted Treas
urer.
"Livsey didn't mention either Bojer.
Hradsl ey or any other names in his talk
with me, though. He just said he'd been
selocted, as cashier of the State Treasury,
to ba made a scapegoat of; and that he was
coming back to Pennsylvania some time,
and whey he did he'd cleur up his name all
right."

Cameron's Betrayal
lie was there for business, if we may
accept tho testimony of David T. Littler,
of Illinois. Said Don to Dave: "buy me
some ilver." Have bought. And it is
understood that Don knew>hen to sell us
well as when to buy. Is the Pennsylvania
Senator there for business now? The
Financial Cbronipal remarks that the char
acter and strength of the feeling with re
spect to the Senatorial performances ' arc
well indicated by the movements in the
stock market, prices riiing sharply on the
faintest rumor that progress is being made
toward a settlement, and tailing on reports
that obstructive tactics aro being renewed."
People cannot be blamed for drawing their
own infc;ences regarding tho quality of
Senatorial respect for thc"right"of interm
inable obstruction. Mr. Cameron is not
tho only thrifty Senator, and when wo tee
tolk to the effect that tho repeal bill will
soon pass alternating with talk of compro
mise or total failure with ■■ mething like
ihe regularity of the ebb und flow of the
tide, people will suspect that Senators who
know how these things work aro "out for
stamps." Stocks rise and fall uti the
rumors run, and who aro they that put the

a noise at his front door. Quietly slipping
! out of bed he went down to the front room
| and looking out of the window discovered
a mau working at the front door, endeav
i oring to pick the lock. After some ten or
fiftec n minutes the would-be robber gave
! the door up and slipped down into the cel
lar hole where he began work on the cel
lar window. Mr. Xorris. who was stand
' ing inside the door with nothing on but his
! night shirt, thought that this work had
gone far enough, and opening the door he
rau out ant) caught the burglar. In the
tussel that ensned Mr. Xorris was cut on
: the wrist by a large knife in the hands of
; his antagonist. Mr. Xorris then rushed
.! into the house and secured a hatchet, and
j on coming to the front again the burglar
I was just issuing from the coal hole. The
two grappled,Xorris struck him once with
! the flat of the hatchet and it was then
wrested from his grasp. Blows were ex
! changed between the two, the robber get
| ting the worst of it and finally taking to
his heels he escaped with his coat almost
torn off.

I>avid Shelly, formerly of narmony,
found a pocket book along the road in
Lawrence county some time ago, and failed
to return it. He was arrested, tried and
convicted for larceny, and sentenced to
pay costs and be imprisoned in the county
jail for ten days.

Mrs. Pho be Birch, the gay and festive
young wifo of Alfred Birch, a battle-dealer
residing on Morningside road, Pittsburg,
has left her husband, who is about double
her age, and taken with her .$l,lOO in
money, the property of the forsaken one,
and a youth named Charles Miller, aged
17 years. There are some persons who
call the incident an elopement, but young
Miller's parents and relatives say it is a
case of kidnapping and areas eager to learn
the whereabouts of the mining pair as is
the deserted husband, who wants both his
cash and his wife. Miller was employed
by Birch in the capacity of a cow-driver
anil has been engaged at that job since last
May. While Mr. Birch is called a cattlo
dealer, his title, more properly speaking,
is that of a cow* drover. He is about 52
years of age and his wife is just turned 26.
They are both English and came to Pitts
burg from Windsor, Can , about eight
months ago. He frequently makes long
journeys into the country districts and
purchases frech cows and other cattlo and
sells them at retail. Young Miller, who
is quite handsome, lived with his parents
near Dc Haren on the Butler plank road
until last spring, when he was hired by
Birch and then took up his residence at the
homo of his employer.
Threo years ago William Brown, of Lotft
Creek, in the eastern part of tho state,
spent Sunday on the mountains between
Matonoy Plain and Shenandoah, and in
the evening walked down a path to tho
Philadelphia and Heading railroad tracks
just in time to have a leg cut off by a pass
ing train. Two weeks, ago on Sunday,
Brown walked down the same path, and
when at the spot of his previous misfortune
tripped and fell jjst as a train run by the
same conductor who had charge of the
train which cut bis leg off before went by.
The train cut off his remaining leg in about
the same place where the lirst leg was man
gled. A queer coincidence indeed.
Mary Strohecker, and her two daughters,
Anna and Emma Strohecker, of Lawrence
county, who several months ago pleaded
guilty to assault and battery, were sen
enced at New Castle, lately. This is the
case in which it was shown that the Merc
hemier boy was so badly injured. The
three women said they had nothing to
say when asked why sentence
should not bo passed. 1). B. Kurtz, Esq ,
as attorney for them, however, spoke in
their behalf. After which Mrs. Strohecker
was sentenced to pay a line of .S4O and
costs, and each of the girls s"> and costs.
Arrangments for the payment of the
amount were made with the sheriff and tho
defendants were permitted to go home.
Two valuable stallions, owned by I>r. C.
L. Thudicum of Haddonfield, X. J., fought
a duel t;i the death last Friday. They
were known to be vicious and hud been
kept in seperate fields. Yesterday they
got into the same lield by accident and at
once went at each other. Their hoofs
struck terrible blows and the horses bit as
effectually a* *«brayn. Finally the more
valuable stallion, worth $l,lOO, fell. The
other soon trampled over htm. Then, to
make sure of a litiish, the victor seized his
rival by the throat and dragged him about
the field. '
LET IT lie understood from ono cud of
tho country to tho other, from thu Presi-
dent down to the smallest page in Congress,
that Republicans will take no chances on
tho repeal of the election law*! There
is no question of dollars aud cents that
compares iu the mind of a Republican
with the question of the right of every
American citizen, black or white, in Texas
or in Maine, to perfect freedom to cast
his one vote and to have it counted as
cast. II the Democrats are going to raise
that issue now, every other is-,ue must be
pushed aside. liut it is to bo hoped that
better counsel will prevail among the
majority at Washington.—X. V. Tribune.
